Generate code snippet for REST API call from Postman

Testing REST APIs in Postman is a norm for all software developers. Once the REST API is tested in Postman, it is time to integrate the same with the frontend interface to fetch or post data.
During the integration phase, if you face a blocker while developing the code for an API call, then Postman is here to help.
Just follow the below-mentioned steps:

  1. Add the REST API call in POST man and initialize the body and headers based on the method (GET or POST)
